Yes, it has been over a year since my last blog post. Yes, I realize that only like 5 people have ever read my blog. And yes, I understand probably no one cares what I have to say. But. If by some crazy miracle, someone does read this blog and gets a little something out of it, then me typing this out will be worth it. If I feel motivated to continue my journey, then typing this will be worth it. So, what has happened in my life in the past year? Well, we adopted a dog, got married, I dislocated my patella again, and I gained back half of the weight it took me almost 2 years to lose. I feel like a total and complete failure. I got down to my lowest weight in years 200 lbs. I felt like I looked great, I felt amazing, and had so much energy. But then I got complacent, I stopped exercising as much, I started eating poorly again, and before I realized it, in less than a year, I was back up to 225 lbs. I feel like crap, I'm bloated, my clothes are too tight, I'm lazy and winded....
